A few weeks ago we announced our adventurous (some call it crazy) plan to drive across the US in an eco-friendly retrofitted 1970s bus, visiting ten college campuses that have deployed Google Apps Education Edition. Well, we just hit the street, and starting this week we will be visiting thousands of college students across the country to hear how Google Apps is helping them to bring learning into the cloud. You can keep up with the bus at www.google.com/apps/bus through maps, photos, videos, and live blog posts on our recently launched the Google Students blog.

In addition to the bus, a few other things are getting us excited, like the 17 new schools that have chosen Google Apps in the last few weeks, taking us to over two million active users. And then there's a new feature to celebrate: Google Video for Apps, which enables schools to securely share videos of recorded classes, lectures, school events, and more.

With these developments, I guess it's "so long" to summer. It really is time for us to head App to School...
